Find something like this, or the many cheapies that are sold on ebay. Or, hell, even spend the money to get the name brand Cisco-Linksys 200mbps powerline (you can add any brand extensions later on, I have two different kinds and it works fine), because there is no comparison between the performance I'm getting with this and what I used to get on wireless G or N. I can't tell you how much of my sanity has been salvaged by having such an important step in networking dealt with through a brain-free plug and play process that works flawlessly.

Nevertheless, the original advice to get a cheap wireless G router was good, since the one you got (hopefully) is probably upgradeable to DDWRT which makes most performance considerations moot. I don't know shit about the technical side, mind you, but I've spent a considerable amount of time and money unfucking this situation for myself, and DDWRT router + powerline is the best thing I've done in years.
